Build 17 Compression Artifacts

[Steve Tammi]

Anyone else see artifacts like this on Build 17 2k 16:9 redcode28? I shot hours of 4k HD with no problems now this. I have a help ticket into RED but thought I would see if anyone else has these issues in the mean time.

Best,

Steve

That's a hardware problem, not firmware. Its most likely a failed CF Reader / Writer module.

It could also be a bend pin on, or a loose e-SATA interface cable to, the CF Reader / Writer module.

RED technical support will be able to help you.

Not sure it can be attributed to any particular build, feeling more like a hardware fault by the day. Had been thinking codec, I don't know. Please go away dithering.
Returning Reds to the states is a pain and will lose me jobs and money, but looks likely. My bad mood today isn't all down to my Red, but it ain't helping. Once I know its not a codec problem requireing a new "unavailable" brain module, and it goes away, I'll be happy.
The footage above was taken while a client was testing the camera in handheld mode. The client had just passed me the camera to hold so they could answer their phone, so I just swung it at the nearest duck, but accidentally hit the side record button. If I hadn't, it wouldn't have been recorded

If that same problem is recurring between builds then I think it might be a hardware thing. Especially if it is in the same part of the frame.

I love my RED ONE®. I might be their happiest customer.

Possible Codec Error

Ronx,

Sincere apologies that you are having issues. To address your question -

There were major improvements in compression between Build 15 and 16, but Builds 16 and 17 (and now 18) are the same.

The above example sure does not look like a compression related problem.

Please discuss this further with RED tech support.
